Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe a management process to better control scuba diving on coral reefs. While the dive industry permits growth in local tourism revenues it can also create a degradation of the coral reefs if there are too many divers. Consequently appropriate management is essential. In this study, a case analysis of Kenting National Park was undertaken. The authors describe a process-based reference model and information system to better manage diving through collaboration by the different units, namely the divers, dive centers, the park office, the nuclear power plant bodies, the park police and the coastal guards. The management tool set of IDEF0 (Integration Definition for Function Modeling 0) was applied to describe the overall diving service workflow. An object-oriented analysis approach was then applied to represent the design of the collaborative model. A prototype web-based platform was constructed to demonstrate the model for in situ information that potentially could monitor diving and improve communication channels between the actors.
